Broken Masquerade

Warning: AfterMath of electorshock therapy, one swear word.

Virgil was carelessly pushed in his room hours later, body shaking and weak. His muscles were tense and jaw aches from clenching. He curled up in pain, sweat drenched his skin. But, he refused to cry.

He stayed in his cell for the remainder of the day, refusing to go out. He couldn't even stand it hurt so much. He didn't move from the place he was tossed in, he stayed there, ate there and slept there.

Meanwhile Roman, didn't stay in one spot. He paced his cell, biting his thumb nail as guilty coursed through his veins. It's his fault whatever's happened to Virgil has happened. It's all his.

He went out to see if he was in the cafeteria, yet saw it was all the friends besides Logan, Thomas and the one man he needed, Virgil. He went back to his cell and didn't leave again, and he didn't sleep. How could he sleep with Virgil in possible pain?

Remus saw Logan the next day and immediately hugged him, "I heard what happened to you, are you ok?!"

Logan tensed slightly but then awkwardly hugged back, "I am adequate. It's the guard we should be concerned about."

Remus laughed as Thomas rushed over, "hey!"

Remus turned and also brought Thomas into the hug, "neither of you scare me like that, again! God, besides Roman, you two are all u care about in the place."

Thomas froze in shock, looking to Logan, who looked back in just as much shock. Remus didn't really show weakness, he was just Remus. Cocky, arrogant and gross.

But, god seeing Remus like this made Logan fall even more for him, not that he would admit that to the man. At least not in the asylum.

Remus eventually let go, "uh, sorry. I got worried after hearing about what happened to you two yesterday..."

"It's fine Remus, I'm sorry for yesterday... I was rude and... Well, wrong... I shan't go into detail, but please try to understand what I'm saying." Logan begged.

Smiling softly, Remus kissed his cheek, "I understand."

"Finally." Thomas mumbled, moving to their table.

Remus frowned, "I didn't hear what happened to Roman though."

Logan looked down, "I believe it was Virgil who got hurt... Emile has started to use the two against each other..."

The two fell silent, Remus unknowingly pulling Logan closer, leading him to their table and sat down.

Janus was the next in and sat down across from the three, "Patton heard Virgil was given electroshock therapy, because of Romans actions."

"What?!" Thomas whisper-yelled, eyes wide.

"It's apparently why Virgil didn't join us." Janus said.

Patton stormed in next, angrily sitting next to Janus, "hold me back, because I'm going to end up killing Picani, slowly and painfully."

Janus didn't have to he told twice and wrapped an arm around Patton, "you do that, and you'll be taken away. I can't deal with that." Closing his eyes, Patton cuddled into Janus side.

Roman finally made it in and upon seeing no Virgil, went to turn around, but he was crashed into by a man groaning in pain.

"V-Virgil?"

"Roman..."

Roman looked at the man, the love of his life, shaking before him, "Dios mío..."

"Catch me..." Virgil begged, falling forward and Roman instantly caught him.

Roman gently took him to their table and sat him down.

The table gasped, Patton now shaking in anger, as Virgil leaned against Roman, who gently caressed his cheeks.

"I'm so sorry, Virgil..."

Virgil shook his head, "I'm fine... they'll come after you..."

"Let them. I can handle it." Roman said, guilt eating him alive.

That's when Roman saw it, the glimmer of tears in Virgil's eyes as he said, "but I can't handle you getting hurt."

Roman held him close, "V-Virgil... I-"

"Don't give Picani anymore to hold over our head, Roman... just don't." Virgil begged, wiping his eyes and quietly cursing himself. This was not had a Mafia boss was supposed to look!

Logan looked down, pulling Thomas to him, as Remus shuffled closer to his right, and Janus held Patton close, who cuddled him.

Virgil's mask had finally broken, god knows how long it'd take to get back up. But, neither worried about that.

They spent their morning together, Roman trying to help Virgil heal, sending glares to guards who came close.

Virgil caressed his cheek softly, a small smile on his lips, "he's done it now. Not much else he can throw at us."

Roman smiled sadly, "he can do it again."

"And let him. I'm not afraid."

Despite the tears in Virgil's eyes, Roman believed him. Roman believed Virgil could handle everything that was thrown at him and more.

Roman brushed them hair from Virgil's eyes, only for Virgil to hold the hand with his own, and bring it to his lips. He kissed his palm gently and whispered, "Il mio amore..."

Roman smiled, he knew what that meant, his eyes teared, "mi amor..."

A guard walked over, "Di Pede, you have a session."

"Fuck off..." Virgil grumbled, making the guard glare.

"What was that?!" The guard yelled, the table prepared for a fight, Roman prepared to be dragged off, but Virgil looked down.

"Nothing... Just give me a minute please..." He turned to Roman with a sad look in eyes and got up, nearly falling again.

The guard dragged him along, while Roman stayed behind. He just got Virgil, now he's gone again...

"So, you two just admitted feelings in Spanish and Italian..." Remus smirked, but soon stopped upon seeing Romans face.

Roman was still watching Virgil, his face sad and broke, watching until the Italian Mafia Boss was out of sight, when he broke down in tears.

Remus moved over to comfort him, and Roman latched onto him as if he was life support, the table stayed silent, never seeing the prostitute, the man who was so incredibly confident with every so... distraught and emotional.

Virgil wasn't the only broken one in the group, it was also Roman.
